ἡ γὰρ τῶν ὡραίων ἀνθῶν καὶ καρπῶν αἴτησις εἰς ἀντίδοσιν τῆς τοῦ σώματος ὥρας προκαλεῖται τοὺς λαβόντας. ἢ τὴν τούτων ὥραν παραψυχὴν καὶ παραμυθίαν τῆς ἐπὶ τῶν ἐρωμένων ὥρας ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις χαίροντες ἔχουσιν αὑτοῖς. ἐκκρούεται γὰρ ὑπὸ τῆς τούτων παρουσίας ὁ τῶν ἐρωμένων πόθος, εἰ μὴ ἄρα τοῦ περὶ αὑτοὺς κόσμου χάριν, καθάπερ ἄλλο τι τῶν πρὸς καλλωπισμὸν συντεινόντων, ἔχουσί τε ταῦτα καὶ χαίρουσιν αὐτοῖς.
